Brief Answer:
No, pregnancy is unlikely ...explained
Detailed Answer:
hello,
Thanks for contacting health care magic.
With your LMP on 11th oct and sex on 16th oct , you have to understand that you were in your safe period at the time of sex and ovulation had not occurred by then . hence you are unlikely to get pregnant after having sex in safe period.
Also you have taken ipill well within 72 hrs , so its a double protection and you stand protected from pregnancy. But you may get cramps and even spotting because of withdrawal caused by ipill , which is exactly what you are suffering now.
ovulation can be confirmed by checking with an ISURE KIT which can predict ovulation 36 hrs prior.
regards
Dr.Sameer Kumar

With 26days cycle i presume my ovulation starts on 20/21st of oct which is less than 5 days of having sex. Is there anychance of getting pregnant from precum as the sperm is usually alive for 5/7 days inside
Brief Answer:
sperms stay alive for only 72hrs
Detailed Answer:
Hello .
Thanks for the follow up.
For information, the life of sperm is only 72 hours. an it becomes inactive after 72 hrs. so even if there would have been any pre cum ejaculate , but with ovulation occurring by 23/24 th oct, the sperms are unlikely to stay alive. moreover , you have taken an ipill as well which would protect you further minimizing the chances of pregnancy to almost nil.
ideally bleeding after ipill starts within 7 days of intake. you are likely to have spotting considering your symptoms of abdominal cramps. Predicting ovulation based on wetness and cramping is not scientific. LH surge is required for ovulation which can be tested with ISURE kit . within 36 hrs of positive isure test , ovulation occurs.
nevertheless, rest assured that you would not get pregnant.

By how many days will ovulation b delayed due to intake of ipill. The ovulation date of 23/24th oct as mentioned by you is the actual date or the delayed ovulation date because of ipill effect
Brief Answer:
there may not be any ovulation in this cycle..expl
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
If the bleeding occurs then you must consider that ovulation has not occured in this cycle and the day your bleeding start should be considered as DAY 1 of your fresh cycle and thereafter ovulation date is to be calculated.
It sometimes happens that if ipill is taken earlier in period cycle, then bleeding may not occur even and the ovulation may take place as it is scheduled.
Ipill can just change the hormonal concentration and initiate bleeding and stop ovulation of this cycle. The only way to ensure ovulation is monitoring the LH SURGE with ovulation kits like ISURE.
ADVISE WOULD BE TO WAIT FOR FEW DAYS, just to see if bleeding starts or not .
